Earlier today, multiple Ogle Moles sent us a Facebook video showing a white Edmond man by the name of David Stewart going full-Karen on a black appliance delivery man named Travis Miller in a gated Edmond neighborhood. It’s since been picked up by most local news outlets.
From all appearances, Travis committed the “crime” of being a black man driving a delivery truck through an affluent, predominantly white neighborhood where rich people live, which caused David to call the police and block Travis from leaving the gated community for nearly an hour.
You can check out the full video below. Like other social media videos that show privileged white racist samaritans letting their inner biases and prejudices shine, it’s a sad and disturbing thing to watch:
First of all, our hearts go out to Travis. People shouldn’t have to deal with B.S. like that, and it was heartbreaking to watch. He talked about the incident to KFOR if you want to check it out.
Second, David Stewart can go suck a bag of little dicks. He looks what would happen if Grimace became a Harry Potter fan. Do you think he would have done the same thing if it was a couple of white guys, or Gentry from Hahns, driving through? Probably not.
Also, we’re pretty sure this is the same David Stewart that owns – or owned – Raven Resources LLC. It’s an energy company that did well enough to have an employee steal $5-million from them. Here’s a Q&A he did with The Oklahoman a few years ago about a marina he owned on the Gulf Coast.

Where was the white racism? Where was the bias? Where was the prejudice? Show me how this was a racist incident and I'll join your condemnation.
There was none.
As soon as he entered the gated community he was on private property. The residents have every right to ask who let him in. Had he cooperated, he would have been allowed to leave.
His recalcitrance is a common theme in all these black-white encounters.

They only harassed him because he was black. You know it and I know it. He was in a delivery truck. Is it really your position that they must say something that is "racist' to make them so? Did you expect them to call him a nigger on camera?

I see. Just because they're white they're racist? Yeah, you go and keep redefining "racist" just to keep the word alive. Like women are doing with the phrase "sexual assault".
My position is that if a person is denied basic liberties because of the color of their skin, that's racism. We don't have that. Where it exists, it's illegal.
Perhaps you're referring to bigotry. Yeah, that exists everywhere, in every race, and it's not illegal. But my guess is that you'd make it so if you could.
